How many times have you taken a product you own apart after it died. I have done this to a number of things including cameras and a variety of electronics. Taking apart a toasted hard-drive was fun and taught me a lot in the process. Usually we do this with the plan to not have to put it back together. But the Voided Warranty website talks about the mods people have done to perfectly good equipment. Some of it is pretty entertaining. [www.voidedwarranty.com]
